    I want to swap a 4k Mini Genie for a Wireless Mini - DTV says no

    I suggest you keep that copy until you're positive the charge won't come up - and possibly a little while after that. I upgraded to the 4K equipment when it first became available. I tried doing the upgrade over the phone. I knew what equipment I needed, but the phone reps were totally...

    I work in retentions for DirecTV.. ask me anything you want to know

    If you tell them you're going with DIRECTV Now streaming when you cancel DIRECTV satellite service, does that stop them from trying to keep you on or get you back as a satellite customer? I moved to a new house in April which has AT&T Fiber gigabit. I called to cancel on a Sunday right after...

    What To Do With AM21?

    I used to sell stuff on eBay all the time, but I got to a point where I absolutely hated it. I'd rather just throw it in the trash than deal with eBay. LOL

    What To Do With AM21?

    I bought a new house about a month ago and it has AT&T gigabit fiber internet, so I cut the cord and just do streaming and OTA antenna now. DIRECTV has received their equipment back, and I'm not missing the big bill from them. I have an AM21 left over. I can't do anything with it now without...

    Canceling Question

    I'm going to have gigabit fiber internet at my new house, so I'm going with streaming. Probably Sling.

    Canceling Question

    Will I need to send the LNB back to DIRECTV when I cancel? Anything else I'll need to return other than the receivers? I'm going to be moving next month. The original plan was to close on the new house on April 7 and then close on my current house April 13, giving me about a week to have a...

    AT&T Unlimited Plus - $25 D* Discount

    My new house is going to have gigabit fiber internet from AT&T, so I had already planned on dropping DIRECTV for a streaming option. Got excited when I found out the new unlimited plan would get me $25/month off DTV Now...until I found out I'd lose my 17% FAN discount, which made it not so...

    $25 off DirecTV or DirecTV Now with AT&T Unlimited Plus

    I'm moving to a new house soon that will have AT&T gigabit internet, so I've decided to drop DIRECTV and go streaming to save some money. I was originally leaning towards Sling, as it has most of the channels we want at the best price. Then I heard about the new AT&T unlimited plan that has...

    AT&T Service Question

    Yeah - this builder installs HDMI outlets (also coax) down beside the fireplace up to above the fireplace in the living room in all their houses. I'm also having them run ethernet around the house. They're doing that plus a bunch of other things no extra charge. I made several changes to the...

    AT&T Service Question

    Yes, U-verse is a 1-year contract. We liked it before when we had it at our old house (which was on copper DSL), so I'm sure it would be just as good (if not better) over fiber. After talking it over with my other half we're now thinking about cutting the cord and just going with streaming...

    AT&T Service Question

    Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the U-verse forum. At our old house we had AT&T U-verse (DSL, not fiber) internet and TV, and we were happy with it. They jacked the price up on TV, so I switched to DIRECTV (this was way before AT&T bought them) for better pricing on TV. We kept...

    4K Question

    I've recorded stuff that was on the 4K channels before, and here's what happened to me. I could see the 4K recording in my list of recordings on ALL TVs in the house, but I could only play it back on the C61K client. If I tried to play it back on any of the other clients or on the HR54 it...

    Message - 4k Not Authorized at this location.

    I noticed last night that my 4K isn't working. It had been working fine. Not sure exactly when it stopped working. When I tune to 104 I get a black screen with a grey box in the lower right that says "All or part of this program was not recorded due to a problem at broadcast time. Please wait...

    New Problems with DIRECTV

    dishcomm - I don't know if you're replying to me (since you quoted one of my posts), or if you're replying to Gmike69 (who resurrected this old thread). This thread is from 2012 - so I'm definitely not having any problems anymore. I've moved to a brand new house since I originally posted this...

    Bait and switch?

    When I go to the link it shows 4 rooms up near the top, and just above that in small print says offers extended through 10/22/16. The rest of the page below all that (including fine print at very bottom) says 2 rooms. So the page is a little confusing/contradicting. Sent from my iPhone using...

    I'm a little early, but what date does Holidays and Happenings (815) start playing Christmas music?

    I'm sick of Christmas already. They keep pushing it earlier and earlier every year. There's been Christmas crap in stores around here since July. I saw a commercial for something on TV a few nights ago that was playing Christmas music. I'm expecting it to come around one of these years and...

    Full Streaming Coming September 8th

    I did that. Still not working. Did a "TRANSC0DE ON" keyword search on my HR-54. Still not working. Did a red button reset of my HR-54. Still not working. App keeps saying it can't find the receiver, even when I manually enter the IP address of my HR-54.

    Full Streaming Coming September 8th

    Just tried deleting and reinstalling the app on my phone. Also tried the "TRANSC0DE ON" keyword search. Did a red button reset on the HR-54, too. Still not working for me. Same thing still happens. The app tells me that it couldn't connect to my mobile DVR, and if I manually enter the IP...

    Full Streaming Coming September 8th

    I can't get this to work. The app gives me a message that it can't connect to my Mobile DVR. If I click on the "Try Again" button a couple more times it gives me the option to manually enter the IP address of my Genie. I enter the IP address, and it still says it can't find it.

    I cannot believe how Directv lies to get new customers!

    I always avoid third party resellers and go directly to the company when signing up for anything like TV service, cell phone service, etc. Usually I already know (or at least have a really good idea) exactly what I want to sign up for, and I just do it myself on the company's web site. Any...

    AM21 and Genie

    I'm using the AM21 with the HR54. You have to get a power cord for the AM21, as it can't piggyback on the DVR power with the HR54.

    DirecTV + AT&T Wireless deal

    The unlimited data may or may not be a good deal, depending on how much data you use. We were already with AT&T for cell phone service - 4 lines sharing 15GB data. I also had already combined the wireless and DIRECTV bills for the $10/month discount. Then they announced the unlimited data. I...
